Planar magnetic loudspeakers · Orange, California
Sound is born of the moment a driver meets the air.
Lovingly handmade in Southern California, each Dragonfire system is carefully tested and personally approved by Dr C before shipping.
Peak induction from N48H neodymium in a push-pull dual-pole magnetic circuit
Faster acceleration than a 14 × 1.5 cm ribbon mid-tweeter

Dragonfire Acoustics
Fidelity, longevity, and control.
Hyper-Fidelity audio is realized by the creation of unipolar magnets. With three times the force of natural earth magnets, Dragonfire’s Uniforce magnets form the backbone for supernatural sound.
Aerospace-grade, light-as-air, cryogenically-strengthened film is evenly tensioned and laser traced within this supernaturally strong magnetic field to excite the air with +1500% faster acceleration and a 100% 1:1 match of mass:air and electricity:sound.
Planar magnetic sound projects precisely across the line of sight like the light of a laser beam, coherently balanced in frequency, impulse, phase, and power.
Products
The Dragons.
Planar magnetic nearfield monitors, a hand-built USB cable, and surface arrays and super-subwoofers that stack and fly.
Mini Dragons
State-of-the-art planar magnetic nearfield monitors, with the SHD Studio digital preamp, the MD-4 amplifier & DSP, and the SB-8P subwoofer.

Technology
Acceleration = Force / Mass
Strongest rare earth flux density
High temperature rare earth N48H-grade neodymium magnets are sintered, assembled, and arrayed into a patented push-pull dual-pole magnetic circuit with peak 1.8 Tesla induction.
Light as air cryogenic diaphragm
Aerospace-grade polyimide film only 1.8 microns thick is cryogenically treated in liquid nitrogen at −196 °C (−321 °F), laser-traced and dynamically tensioned into a uniform driving surface.
State-of-the-art sound
With 1500% faster acceleration and 50× more driver area than a 14 × 1.5 cm ribbon mid-tweeter, the Mini Dragons deliver direct sound with precise imaging and accurate frequency, phase, and impulse response.
